How long does this no-knead garlic bread take to bake?

This bread takes 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven.

Ingredients:

• 5 cups bread Flour

• ¼ cup Sugar

• 1 Tsp Salt

• 1½ Tbsp Yeast

• 2 eggs

• 2 Cups Warm Milk About 105 and 110°F

• 4 Tbsp butter

• 2½ Tsp Garlic powder

• scallions chopped

• 1 Egg for egg wash [optional]

What are the steps in making this no-knead garlic bread?

Procedure: 

• ACTIVATE the yeast. Proofing the yeast by “feeding” it sugar and warm milk brings it back to life. The yeast is then ready to ferment and release carbon dioxide bubbles into your bread, making it extra soft and airy. If using instant yeast (and you are sure the yeast is alive), you can skip this step.

• COMBINE the rest of the bread ingredients to form a sticky dough. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon for a good couple of minutes to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

• PROOF the dough in a warm place with a fitting lid or plastic wrap over the bowl for 45 minutes to 1 hour. I have found that this is the perfect amount of time to allow the dough to triple in size without losing its form. 

• DIVIDE the proofed dough into 2 on a floured surface and flatten each piece out with the palm of your hands. It doesn’t need to look perfect at this point, don’t worry.

• BRUSH each of the flattened dough pieces generously with the garlic butter mixture. If you like a lot of garlic, add more! 

• ROLL- UP the flattened dough like a mat, shape each into loaves, and place into your prepared 9 by 5-inch loaf pans. The goal here is to make sure that delicious garlic butter is evenly distributed throughout the bread, so you get some in every bite. 

• CUT the rolled-up dough, with a pastry cutter or sharp knife, into inch thick slices. This helps the bread to cook evenly but also means that there are individual slices of buttery garlic bread ready to tear from the loaf as soon as you serve it. 

• COVER AND REST for another 25 to 30 minutes.

• FINISH the loaves with a brush of egg wash before putting them in the oven. This will give the finished bread an appetizing bronzed crust.

enjoooyyy!
